In a small town not far away
Lived a woman who had seen better days
Her husband was cruel and full of hate
He made her suffer, made her fate

But one day she made a plan
To escape with her baby in hand
She ran away, to a place unknown
Far from the place she called home

She worked hard to make ends meet
And managed to live, despite the heat
She started a business, catering food
Her talent and passion, it was shrewd

In this new place, she met a man
Handsome and kind, with a gentle hand
They became friends, but little did she know
That jealousy in the air would soon show

Other girls in the town were envious, it's true
They found out about her past, what she had been through
They told her ex-husband, who came in a rage
To take her back, to turn the page

He found her one day, and beat her down
Tried to snatch the baby, tried to take her crown
But just in time, the new guy came
Fighting back, he wasn't tame

He revealed his secret, his past as a soldier
Tired of the bloodshed, he couldn't shoulder
The burden anymore, so he left
But his skills in battle were not bereft

The woman was amazed, at the strength he showed
She hadn't known, hadn't been told
He saved her and her baby, from harm
And in that moment, she felt a charm

He confessed his love, his heart did impart
She jumped into his arms, and gave him her heart
They both declared their love that day
And together, they walked, on a new pathway

They got married, and had a successful career
Living happily ever after, with nothing to fear
They were a team, a force to be reckoned
Their love was strong, their bond beckoned

And so they lived, in love and grace
The woman and the ex-soldier, in a perfect place
Their story a testament, to love and strength
A tale of triumph, at any length
